Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Constance (Universitat Konstanz), course: Another Anthropology. Visual and textual Representations of Animals - ethical and aesthetical perspectives, 4 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: God is the creator of everything. He breathed life into animals and man, and made them living souls. "The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all His creation." (Psalm 145:9) God created man and animals according to His infinite love and wisdom. God values everything He created, including animals, and He wants only the best for them. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and He was pleased with all He made. But He wanted more. He wanted relationship and fellowship. His desire to pour out, and receive love in return remained unfulfilled. So He decided to create animals and man. God created animals before he created man, and placed them in the perfect serenity that was then earth. He has breathed the same breath of life into all living beings from the beginning of time through today."
